My Edible Fruit Trees: Macadamia Trees nsw

Macadamia - Bush Nut (Seedling) ^10/10

Comments: -

Produces good crop of nuts each year. Handsome tree with beautiful pink flower racemes.

Top pruned the tree to half size so as to be able to reach nuts. This resulted in a much denser lower tree.

Fruiting Months April

Planted: 2004

Height 5 metres

Growing: In the Ground

Fruit Harvest: 100 Fruit Per Year

First Fruited: 4 Years from Seed

Sun/Shade: Full Sun

Pollination: Self Pollination

When I Fertilise: Never

Pest Control:

Main problem are Rozellas and cockatoos - when young nuts are forming, they destroy every single one of the large crop of nuts. Must put netting over nuts within reach so as to save some of the crop.

Some nuts affected by macadamia nut borer.

Question: I planted my macadamia tree in winter, and come spring have started to get brown patches on some of the leaves. The plant otherwise looks healthy at this stage. I can't see any sign of pests or anything on the underside of the leaves except for the same brown patches. What could this be?

Macadamia - H2 (Seedling) ^5/10

Comments: -

Didn't survive the fires

It has survived a number of heavy frosts & survived - not thrived. Probably needs more water, fertilizer & protection from the dry winds than it gets

Water Given in: Winter

Pollination: Self Pollination

Fertiliser or Organics Used: cow, horse poo

When I Fertilise: Winter and Spring

Pest Control:

No problems - except maybe having a good idea to tie the branches down so they would grow more horizontally & gale force winds snapped one.

Organic Status:Organic
